OIL-BURNER.

To all whom 2f may concer/n Be it known that I, HENRY F. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gainesville, in the county of Hall and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Oil-Burner, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in oil burners.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of an oil burner especially adapted for use in connection with a cooking range, the same being so constructed that the supporting base will t lupon the grate supporting ledges of the range, thus dividing the saine into the usual tire box and ash compartment, said base carrying a plurality of parallel burner tubes, each of which is surrounded by an air conducting tube establishing communication between the ash pit and fire box, the oil being conducted through conduits disposed above the burner tubes within the fire box so that the oil will be properly vaporized before the distribution thereof to the burner tubes.

A still further object of the present invent-ion is the provision of adjustable flame deflectors detachably connected to the vaporizing conduits and arranged directly above the respective burner tubes, whereby the flame is properly deflected to affect the lids of the range, the heat from the burner tubes being evenly distributed and prevented from b-eing concentrated at any particular point above the fire box.

Vith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without depart-ing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a cro-ss section through the fire box and ash pit of a range with the present oil burner in cross section and as upon lines 1 1 of Fig. 3 Fig. 2 is a side elevation yof t-he complete burner, a portion of the farther end thereof being shown in longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the complete burner.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the base plate which is formed oval in plan and rests upon the respective Specification of Letters Patent.

grate carrying flanges Q yof the range, and is provided with the upstanding rim 3 about which and upon the base 1 is placed the tire brick or other fire resisting material e, By this means a partit-ion is provided between the ash pit and the fire box of the range and air is prevented from entering from the ash pit to the tire box except through the air conducting tubes or conduits 7, as will presently appear.

The base 1 has the rim 3 cast thereto and also has cast thereto the upstanding brackets or standards 5 at the respective ends thereof, while formed in the base 1 between the rim 3 and the standards 5 are the interiorly threaded apertures 6 for the reception of the upper threaded ends of t-he air conducting tubes o-r pipes 7. The upper ends of these tubes or pipes are shown pro. jected slightly above the base 1 while the greater portion thereof are extended below the base and into the ash pit each tube providing a means for supplying the air and causing the only communication between the ash pit and fire box of the range.

A bracket 8 is secured to the under side of the base 1 near one end thereof and with the union 9 constitutes a support for the gas supply tube or pipe 10 which is disposed below and longitudinally of the base 1 and below each air conduct-ing tube 7, is a 'l'- coupling 11 being` connected to the pipe so as to present the respective burner tube 12 within and concentrically of its air conducting tube 7, there being a burner tube 12 to each tube or pipe 7.

The upper ends of the respective burner tubes 12 terminate substantially in a plane with the base plate 1 and each tube has threaded thereupon a cap 13, this cap 13 being provided with the gas duct 14e terminating at a point slightly below the upper end of its respective air conducting pipe or tube 7.

Supported between theupper ends of the brackets 5 above and parallel with the base 1 is the oil supplying conduit or pipe 15 which is provided with the needle valve 16 and with the oil supply conduit 17, the valve 16 and conduit 17 being projected and located exteriorly of the range to permit ready access thereto, while at the opposite end of the conduit or pipe 15 a return coupling 16 is provided which forms a means of communication between the conduit 15 and the conduit 17, said conduit 17 Patented Aug. 5,1913.'

7 and 12, so that the pipes 15 and 17 are' readily heated to provide vaporizing chambers tor the oil `supplied thereto :before the f passage thereot through the vertical pipe 18 to the gas supply pipe 10. By this means the oil supplied through the conduit 17 is subjected to the heat from the respective burner tubes 12 while in the respective pipes 15 and 17 `and is there converted into a gas to be supplied to the gas pipe l0 and the burner tubes 12. p

In order to deflect the flame from the respective burner tubes so that the heat may be properly distributed throughout the tire box et the range, a detlecting device" is provided for each burner tube and consists of a bolt 19, which is. disposed between the respective pipes 15 and 17 and clamps the upper disk 2l) upon the upper surface of suoli pipes with the circular detle'cting disk 21 below the under surface of the said pipes 15 and 17 and directly above and concentrically of its respective air conducting tube or pipe 7. By means of the bolt 19, each detlector may be readily removed for repair and cleaning and is easily placed in position above its respective burner tube as the bolt 1S) lits in the space between the respective pipes 15 and 17, as clearly shown in lFig. 1.

In order to provide means for heating the tubes 15 and 17 to supply the initial vapor 'to the burner tubes l2, the arms or brackets 22 are detachably connected to one rim 3 of the base and carry the longitudinally disposed starting pan 23 which has disposed therein an asbestos wick 2Ll acting as an absorbent means to retain the priming oil during the burning thereof. The starting pan 23 is of such a size as to accommodate a sufficient amount of oil to properly heat the tubes 15 and 17 to produce the proper vaporization of the oil before its delivery to the burner tubes 12 where the gas is ignited, air being properly supplied through the tubes 7 about the caps 13 to produce the desired blue flame for cooking purposes.

From the foregoing description, it is evident that a range oil burner, constructed according to and embodying the present invention, properly distributes the heat throughout the longitudinal length of the tire box, while the detlectors 21 are so constructed and arranged as to distribute the heat from their individual burner tubes so that every part of the upper surface of the range is evenly heated and the same result is obtained from the burner tubes as with a coal grate.
